ripping CD collection; need help w bootlegs (metadata)


so i'd like to rip my CD collection on the premise that someday i'm done with CDs and will just stream from a HD. handful of ?s 
1) for universality, what format should i pursue (clearly not MP3, but FLAC or WAV?)
2) as i want my music to be future-proof, i dont want to be locked in to a box. thus, i'm thinking rip directly to a NAS (Raid 5?) for storage & backup. --good thinking or not??
3) as a big chunk of CDs are grateful dead / JGB bootlegs (no metadata), i'll need the ability to key it in. i know DB Poweramp is a great tool (and have used it quite a bit). 

is the right answer (given the constraints) to simply set up a desktop PC in another room with DB Poweramp and a RAID 5 NAS hooked up to it to store the music, and then find some other app later that will read FLAC / WAV files off the NAS when i'm ready to stream to a DAC?

many thanks for all input

Technically, they aren't bootlegs since the Dead and Jerry allowed taping and trading :)
